Even if you wouldn't mind it, it's against the stated goals of the 
project.   Everyone has a perference one way or the other, some wouldn't
mind, some would.   That's why the objectives of the project were
very carefully laid out.  Please see Rahul's recent post if you think my 
interpretation of the basic premise of the Fedora project is wrong.

Besides, adding third party repositories is already easy and getting 
easier all the time.
